Stevens Hall

Famous quotes containing the words stevens and/or hall:

    It was when the trees were leafless first in November
    And their blackness became apparent, that one first
    Knew the eccentric to be the base of design.
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    The statements of science are hearsay, reports from a world outside the world we know. What the poet tells us has long been known to us all, and forgotten. His knowledge is of our world, the world we are both doomed and privileged to live in, and it is a knowledge of ourselves, of the human condition, the human predicament.
    —John Hall Wheelock (1886–1978)
